LiontipsLokomotiv - Avangard: betting tip and bets for the KHL match
Command Analysis
Current form
Lokomotiv quickly recovered from a bad start in the quarterfinals and immediately fully rehabilitated itself for the defeat in the first match. Playing at home, the team left no chance for the Avant-Garde, defeating it with a score of 4:1, and then went to play on the road, where they consolidated their success with two more victories with scores of 6:2 and 2:1 (OT). It seemed that after such successful performances, the Yaroslavl team would not miss the opportunity to advance to the semifinals ahead of schedule, but this did not happen. In the fifth match of the series, the team allowed Omsk to take a significant advantage in the second period and did not manage to even the score before the end of the meeting, losing with a minimal advantage of the competitor by one goal (2:3).
Next, the railwaymen played away, where they could not score at all, losing dry (0:3). Most notably, the visitors scored twice as many shots on the opponent's goal, but their accuracy left much to be desired. Now Loko, like Avangard, is one step away from relegation from the playoffs, and any mistake could be his last this season.

Current form
With the arrival of head coach Boucher, Avangard opened up to the fullest and began to show excellent results. In the first round of the playoffs, the team confidently coped with a very powerful opponent in the person of Metallurg, and after that, in the first match of the quarterfinals, they left no chance for Lokomotiv (4:1). However, this was the end of the club's victories, and the long rise was replaced by a natural decline. Omsk repeatedly could not break through the strong defense of Yaroslavl, which led to sad consequences and, after the fourth match of the series, put the hawks on the brink of relegation.
The vanguard gathered its strength in time and was able to break the series of failures, winning in regular time. Goalkeeper Serebryakov made a huge contribution to the success, reflecting 32 shots out of 34. Returning to the home arena, the hawks played even more reliably, once again due to Serebryakov's efforts, they snatched a dry victory (3:0).

1.85Tip and bets
Avangard made a comeback in the series, but you still shouldn't expect them to win and advance to the semifinals. As you can see, in almost every match, Lokomotiv looked much better than its competitor both in terms of defense and attack, creating much more dangerous moments and realizing them. In addition, the railwaymen will perform at their home arena, where, with the support of the fans, they play even more confidently and achieve the desired result more often. It is for these reasons that we suggest betting in favor of the owners of the ice. But still, for additional safety net, we take the victory, including overtime.
Our betting tip is that Lokomotiv will win the match in 1.65
Bet on the total
This series turned out to be quite effective, even despite the best defense in the league in the face of Lokomotiv. Indeed, the teams created a lot of dangerous moments in each match and did not sit back defensively, which had a good effect on the overall performance of the meetings. It is unlikely that the clubs will abruptly start playing passively, so we choose the total more as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total more than four goals in 1.70
Betting on the outcome of the first period
The first period of the Locomotive is still not the most successful. The team reaches its full potential closer to the equator of the meeting, and in the starting segment it often experiences difficulties, which Avangard can take advantage of again.
Betting Tip- Avangard will not lose in the first period for 1.45
